Cobalt Digital 9921-FS – 3G/HD/SD-SDI Frame Sync

The award-winning 3G/HD/SD Fusion3G® 9921-FS card offers frame sync, and advanced audio and ancillary data support, plus many other powerful features. Frame sync can select from multiple reference inputs, with failover to alternate selected sources. Full audio support includes per-channel audio delay. Remote control is quick and easy with the free DashBoard™ remote control software or the Cobalt OGCP-9000 remote control panels.

You can select from options to add (as inputs and/or outputs) fiber, analog video, AES and analog audio. Other options include wings insertion, general purpose keying, color correction, Dolby® E/AC-3 encoding and decoding (with both decode and re-encode on the same card), ITU/ATSC/EBU compliant loudness metering, and Linear Acoustic® upmixing and loudness processing.

9921-FS Options

I/O Options

+AES (16 Channel Audio Embedding/De-Embedding)

Provides eight (total) AES pair BNC connections that can be GUI-configured as inputs or outputs. Independent SRC for all AES inputs, with auto and manual bypass for non-PCM data.

+LTC (LTC RS-485/Audio Input/Output)

Provides LTC input/output and bi-directional conversion between VBI and LTC on RS-485 or any audio I/O.

+FRx / +Tx / +RxTx / +RxRx / +TxTx (Fiber Inputs/Outputs)

Provides one or two fiber connections per card. Inputs can serve any function in the product, outputs can be assigned from any function in the card. Connector type is dual LC with blind-mate connectors. Cards are fully swappable.

Provides keying using independent SDI inputs for key and fill signals. Chroma key region can be defined using manual controls or an Auto-Detect function. A separate preview SDI output is provided for observing key results before applying to program video output.

Featuring Linear Acoustic® AEROMAX™ technology and available in 5.1-channel (LP51) and stereo (LP20) configurations. These loudness processors use inputs from any source received by the card, or any mixing setting produced by the card. AEROMAX™ algorithms use a sophisticated multi-band approach to loudness processing, and can apply multi-faceted loudness correction specifically targeted to various frequency ranges and other characteristics within the program material, resulting in audio free from abrupt loudness or image shifts while preserving more of the original content than previously possible.
Up to two 5.1 loudness processors can be ordered per card, order as +LP51A and +LP51B. Up to four stereo loudness processors can be ordered per card, order as +LP20A, +LP20B, +LP20C and +LP20D.

Provides full assortment of Dolby® Digital/Digital Plus encoding formats with multiple stream encoding – all on the same card. Uses any combination of audio sources supported by the card (including mixed, upmixed, and loudness processed signals). Encode using internal metadata selections with a full complement of encoding formats and bit rates, as well as from serial or VBI external metadata.Contact sales for information about multiple simultaneous encodes.

+ENCE (Dolby® E Encoding)

Provides Dolby® E encoding from any combination of audio sources supported by the card (including mixed and loudness controlled signals). Full metadata support using internally generated or external metadata via SMPTE 2020 or serial.
